Community Building

Community Building

EANDC works closely with the residents and stakeholders of East Akron to strengthen the community. We are particularly focused on the historic area of East Akron between I-76 and Archwood Avenue, as well as Inman Street and Kelly Avenue.

We hold monthly community meetings that provide residents with opportunities to air concerns, share input on plans for neighborhood improvement and connect with their neighbors.

EANDC also coordinates smaller working groups that meet regularly to plan neighborhood events and activities, build neighborhood pride, foster connections between businesses and residents, create partnerships with neighborhood stakeholders and identify priority areas for beautification as part of revitalization planning
